Religion of the Prophets: The Message of Amos, 1952 May 25
Thurman begins with Amos in this sermon series on the prophets of the Hebrew Bible. The theme of responsibility rings throughout this sermon. Through Amos, Thurman suggests that if all nations are under the judgment of God, then Israel is uniquely under the judgment of God, simply because they have been made aware of God. Knowledge and opportunity is equated to responsibility. In the light of such knowledge, we should not think of ourselves as favored and thus better, but rather we should take up our responsibility before God. Thurman says that heavier judgment will come to those who seem to be favored because they cannot claim ignorance or lack of opportunity.
